Salamu, My Love

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I was driving down a dusty road Carrying more than I let show Thought true love was a fairytale Something sung about but never real Then a breath of fresh air blew my way And brought a peace I can't explain [Chorus] You took a chance on a broken man And loved me like nobody can You never judged, you only cared You made me better standing there Britt, you're the peace I prayed I'd find My everything for all my time [Verse 2] You opened up your arms to all my kids And loved them like your own, you did Never once looked back or second guessed Our blended table, loud and blessed Food's your love language, I can't win Another plate, I'm giving in [Chorus] You took a chance on a broken man And loved me like nobody can You never judged, you only cared You made me better standing there Britt, you're the peace I prayed I'd find My everything for all my time [Bridge] Salamu. Was a word we accidentally formed But meant, "I Love You." And when you dance for everyone I fall for you all over again [Verse 3] Now you're starting at a brand new place New beginnings, same sweet grace You know my past, my pain, my dreams You made me a better dad, a better me Friend and neighbor, husband too Every good thing in me grew from you [Chorus] You took a chance on a broken man And loved me like nobody can Faithful, honest, kind, and true Our fairytale is me and you Britt, you're the peace I prayed I'd find My everything for all my time [Outro] When I walk in, you light up the room Like it's the first time you've seen me too Don't forget what happiness is made of Salamu, my love
